Answer» Hello,
Currently, when I turn on my laptop, I receive NUMEROUS shlwapi.dll windows that pop up. I have Windows XP. When I try to open Internet Explorer, I only get a blank screen...
I'm able to open FIREFOX, however when I type in a web address, the individual LETTERS appear very slowly. And when I go to youtube, or any site that plays video, there is just a blank screen where the video should play...
I researched this QUITE a bit. I reloaded flash player, but it didn't HELP. I also downloaded the RegCure application to correct the shlwapi.dll problem, but when I attempted to run it, I get the shlwapi.dll error and it never runs. Firefox will run faster in Safe Mode (Networking), but I still cannot play any video. System Restore did not work either. I removed my Eset antivirus program, but this also did nothing...
I NEED to be able to run video ASAP, and would also like to have this shlwapi.dll error resolved...
Thank you!May I know the exact error message that you're getting from "shlwapi.dll"?Sure. It says:
firefox.exe
The PROCEDURE entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll.Actually, I guess that "firefox.exe" heading is irrelevant. I get the same error message with an "explorer.exe" heading.do you have a windows xp install cd?
The problem can be by booting within windows cd, and starting windows in repair mode, so you can get the windows system file protection system and then you replace corrupted file within simple dos commands del and copy.
seems that SHLWAPI.dll file is corrupted on your computer and you need to replace it with a good copy of the file which is on the cd.Click Start then Run and type in: sfc /scannow and press enter.
Have your Windows CD handy, it will ask for it.I don't seem to have that CD. Could I download the files?

try the download from here. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?shlwapiThat didn't work either, but thanks. It's that same RegCure application. When I attempt to run RegCure, I get the same dll error and it won't run...Is my best bet to download the Windows XP Recovery CD, and if so, which web site is best?
Can I pick up that CD somewhere?Is SHLWAPI.dll present in C:\Windows\System32 ?yes, it is.Go Start>Run, type in;
cmd
Click OK.
At command prompt, type in:
regsvr32 SHLWAPI.dll
Hit Enter.
Restart computer.After I type in regsvr32 SHLWAPI.dll and hit enter, I receive an error message that says:
"SHLWAPI.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
This file can not be registered."

"SHLWAPI.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.
This file can not be registered."
make a backup of that file
Then try overwriting it with the new dlll you download, and retry the cmd command broni mentioned. maybe that would work. I think the original dll on your computer is corrupted so registering won't work.
